Noodle turns 4!

Four years ago today, my life became complete. Happy Birthday to the most amazing four year old ever to grace my world. You have taught me to love life and to slow down to take it all in. Relish your every milestone, is what I promised I would do, as opposed to rushing them and marking down just how quickly you accomplished them. Crawl a little longer, you have your whole life to walk, speak like a baby, I will not correct you, stay little for as long as you can because getting BIG isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

You have wanted to be BIG since you were born. You have walked in your BIG brother’s shadow, wanting to be BIG just like him. And today, you have decided that you are BIG. I have decided that it’s finally OK with me. Be BIG; go on, I will relish all that being BIG has to offer you.

Last night you went to bed three, but today you woke up four. YOU are BIG, just how big, you will never know. You have decided now is your time to do all of those BIG boy things you have yearned for your entire little life. Go on, go ahead, I am right behind you, I am looking forward to it, to see you do all you want.

Noodle, you are my sunshine, those eyes melt my heart. You have brought more happiness and joy to my life than you will ever realize. You’re bright, you’re cheery, you’re funny, you’re sweet, you’re sincere, you’re contrite when necessary, you are truly a remarkable boy, and I love you lots and lots.

You are my baby, you always will be, no matter how BIG you get, but today, BIG BOY, have a very Happy Birthday.
